Parker looks to have been a good hire.

[MaroonFlounder]

Huge difference so far this young season.

Will Parker leave for a different program since this one is a dumpster fire?

[Pancho]

I'm leaning toward the new HC wanting to retain him.

I think we make the tournament too.

The real question for Lemonis is that good enough to save him? I don't think it is personally because I think we're going to have a roller coaster of a season like Ron Polk II with a losing SEC record- I'm guessing 12-18 and a 3 seed somewhere.

Maybe I've been been chicken little but going 4-4 against air force, Austin Peay, and Georgia Southern doesn't scream tournament team to me? I know we may not be as bad as we look so far, but are we really going to win enough in SEC play to make up for being mediocre against a weak OOC schedule?

Maybe, maybe not. 12 wins would be the bubble. We need to go on a winning streak now. Gautreau does this same crap every year and then we improve. I'm siding on history for now. Pitching was a big reason for two of our losses. I think we have OK starters and we've found some guys that we can rely on in the bullpen.

Jackson State - W
Mount Saint Mary - x3 W

Need to be 8-4 next week. Easy games, maybe Larry to RF if the kid can do it. Then Mershon to 2B. That way MSU can put another high-ceiling bat in the game at DH, like Stevens.

We most definitely need to win the next four games, gotta get a winning streak going!

Just did some number crunching- the Out of Conference era last year was 4.41 including Midweek-OM, Oklahoma, Ohio State, USM for 2023.

This year OOC, the ERA is 4.78 thus far

In the SEC rank 3rd from the bottom in pitching ERA, not so good when you consider the competition. Most HRs and near the highest batting average against. Missouri is the worst statistical staff, but has more competitive OCC opponents, nearly all away games in California.

When I watch our pitching, I want to feel like it's much better. Maybe I'm just happy we aren't walking everyone. I do think we have some good arms. The major problem is that our portal haul and Holcombe aren't getting it done.
